That afternoon with the feeling of uncertainty Ardian towards the house of Maura's grandmother, there Maura was waiting for him on the porch of the house, he was a bit confused to see Ardian walking from the bottom of the hill to his grandmother's house.
"Where's your laptop?" ask Maura.
"Well, I lived in front of the gas dealer. I took a moment" said Ardian forced to lie.
"Oh, yeah. Come in yuk, it will be magrib time soon." invite Maura.
And sure enough, when they entered the azan magrib also reverberated. Maura invited Ardian to pray together in an empty room on the top floor.
"May, is that all the members of this family no one prays or how? I'm sorry if they're presumptuous, are they non-Muslims?" ask Ardian curiously.
"Emm, I don't know either. What is clear is that I have never seen them all worship in any way, maybe they are atheists" Maura replied.
"But if you think about it, it's only natural.. They are followers of the sect, it is only natural that they do not believe in God" said Ardian again.
"Sst, lower your voice! Later they can hear" Maura whispered as she pointed at the walls of the room.
Ardian frowned, he did not understand the meaning of Maura's words. They cleaned the worship equipment and walked to the family living room.
"So, you're Maura's college friend?" ask Mr. Herman.
"Yes, Om" answered Ardian politely.
"Thank you for bringing Maura home, next time if you want to play do not come home too late, so as not to be late like today" said Mr. Herman while looking at Ardian with suspicion.
"Yes, Om. Sorry." replied Ardian again.
Dinner time, as usual the elders took precedence for dinner after it was continued by the youths or children in the house.
"What a weird tradition this house, why not just eat together? Or who has laper can eat first, who is not hungry can follow." asked Ardian wonder.
"Sst, quiet! Just follow it and feel how my life is here." Maura said.
Ardian looked at her with a look of pity on the girl, mealtimes were arranged, neither late nor late, and everyone was obliged to obey.
After eating, Ardian and Maura sat on the porch of the house while waiting for his uncle, suddenly one of Maura's cousins came to them, who else if not Shalimar.
"Hi, Maura! You have a handsome friend who doesn't recognize me" she said cute.
Ardian saw it as normal, for him there was no one more beautiful and cute than Maura. But Shalimar was so passionate when he saw Ardian, that macho masculine handsome man had truly captivated his heart.
"Hi, my name is Shalimar." she said with a flirtatious smile.
"Hello, I'm Ardian's Maura's boyfriend" Ardian said to the points.
She doesn't like to mince words, she also wants to keep Maura's feelings in check. After that he pretended to be busy with his phone and did not pay attention to Shalimar anymore, moreover the girl only wore tight shorts with a t-shirt whose neck was too low, revealing her cleavage, and she was not looking at him, Ardian's not comfortable.
"Tell your uncle, I'll take my bike first." Ardian told Maura as he stroked Maura's hair gently.
After that he went down the hilly land to the bottom to meet the Rosary who was waiting for him below.
"You're this, why didn't you tell me he was your girlfriend?!" delik Shalimar to Maura.
"Well I say it or not, I'm sure you don't care either" Maura said, leaving herself alone there.
"Ish, you self-knowledge! Your presence here is not expected to know!" his yell.
Maura did not care about everything he said, instead of not knowing often he heard his cousins gossiping about him, there were only topics they talked about him.
"I don't care about any of this" he murmured inwardly.
"Maura, where's Ardian?" ask Mr. Herman.
"Oh, he's picking up the bike, Mang. Maybe it's waiting outside" he replied politely.
He walked up the stairs to his room, and he saw a shadow under the stairs. A shadow that was no stranger to him..
"What was that, did I see it wrong?" mumbling itself.
She walks past Nayra's room, but she overhears Nayra's conversation with Nala because the door is not closed.
"I can't take it anymore, brother. It's best that the boy get out of here if he doesn't want to get hurt" Nayra's voice sounded.
"You're right, it's too dangerous if he stays here. He will harm everyone, his aura is too high. As smart as he kept it would still be known by the elders.
We can only detect it, let alone the elders and I'm sure they already know about it when they first saw it" Nala's voice sounded as well.
"What are they saying, are they talking about me?" he murmured in the heart.
Not long after, he heard footsteps behind him sounding from the direction of the stairs towards him. He hurriedly stepped inside his room.
He peeked out from behind his door a little, who came with those heavy steps. To his surprise he saw the figure walking towards his room, the black shadow figure he had seen earlier.
The figure drew closer to his room, Maura closed the door tightly and locked it. He heard the footsteps stop right in front of his room.
His heart was racing, he closed his mouth so that the sound of his hunting breath was not heard by the creature. Long enough Maura was silent waiting in front of the door of his room, there was no sound or movement of the figure earlier.
"Aakhh!"
There was a scream from the next room, Nayra's room. Maura was surprised to hear the scream, she ventured to open the door of her room and looked outside, she did not see or find anyone out there.
The creature had disappeared as the female screams from behind Nayra's room, for fear that there was nothing Maura could look into Nayra's room.
He doesn't care if he gets kicked out or gets insults from them, he just wants to know what's going on there.
Chequek!
He forcefully opened the door of the room, he found Nala still glued to the floor next to Nayra's wooden cabinet, her face pale, cold sweat flooding all over her body.
His eyes stared at the nanar around the room, he was surprised to see Maura in front of him. While trembling he retreated away from Maura.
"Go-go! Go there, stay away from me.." she shuddered.
Maura is confused by Nala's attitude towards her, which makes her confused again because she does not see Nayra in the room.
"Nala, what's going on? Where's nayra?" maura asked confusedly.
Since it was impossible for the girl to go as fast as lightning, since she did not hear or see anything coming out of this room, she only felt a slight gust of wind coming out of that room.
"All because of you! If you weren't here, maybe she wouldn't have been taken by him!" nala shouted looking hatefully at Maura.
Maura was confused and curious as to what happened earlier, and what did Nala mean just now? And who is meant by the word "by him?
"Nlala..." Maura approached him slowly.
"Stop from there or I scream!" nala Bentak.
Maura was really confused, Nala woke up from her seat with a slightly dazed body she dismantled the contents of Nayra's closet like she was looking for something.
Then he walked out to his room, with a little body staggering he entered into his personal space. While Maura was still silent in Nayra's room, she seemed to be looking for something, investigating the entire room looking for clues to Nayra's disappearance.
"I'm sure this must all have something to do with the figure I saw earlier" murmured Maura.
As she was examining the contents of Nayra's closet, she heard footsteps coming from below walking towards their room, which was Nayra's room, her room, and also the very end of Nala's room.
His face and body were blocked by the door of the closet, so anyone who looked at him could not see him directly because the door of the wooden closet was quite wide.
When Maura wanted to hide from there, because she was afraid of being caught and suspected or accused of being random, it was better for her to hide from there, she thought.
But late, there were some people standing in front of Nayra's room. They saw that the door of the room was not tightly closed, they opened it a little and saw Maura's shadow behind the door of the wooden closet.
"Nayra, close your door next time!" snapped by Herman.
"Hem!" Maura cleared her throat to dispel their suspicions.
After they left from there, Maura hurriedly closed the closet door and headed for the room door, she slightly peeked out from inside what was out there.
He saw that there were some elders in the house there, including Mr. Herman and Ms. Sinta. They checked the door of Maura's room, it happened that Maura had not had time to close the door of the room, making it easier for them to check the contents of the room.
"That girl doesn't exist, it looks like our plan worked" Sinta's voice sounded.
"Good, at least this plan worked and we won't be ashamed to face motherhood" Herman's voice said.
Maura was still listening to their every word, so they planned to get rid of him first before he managed to destroy the sect.
Even his whereabouts had not been a month, they had already wanted to kill him.
"Like the original plan, this month we have to offer a sacrifice of life from our family members, he is a very suitable victim" another voice sounded.
"True, she's so similar to her mother! Makes me sick of seeing it, tired of pretending in front of him" said Sinta.
Maura was shocked to hear their statement, so they intended to sacrifice her life as their ritualistic tumbangal.
But their plan fails, not Maura is taken but Nayra is lost from there, maybe the figure wrongly thinks that Nayra is Maura.
"So sorry to him, I won't let any more victims from here. My mother was the victim of their abomination!" he murmured in the heart.
He begins to devise his plan to save Nayra, but how? He just doesn't know where the kid is?
